And I will (d) prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice (e) cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.

(d) The Hebrew word signifies to sanctify because the Lord dedicates to his use and purpose such as he prepares to execute his work, (Isaiah 13:3; Jeremiah 6:4, Jeremiah 12:3).

(e) Your buildings made from cedar trees.
